Good question. The only official shirts were apparently given away at conferences like PAX. 2K/Firaxis probably keeps some on hand but I doubt they're simply handed out to whomever asks. If they are smart, they'll start a swag shop at the main XCom site and sell a million of them.

Thing is, there's 628 people apparently looking at this forum right now. There's been a few threads on the same subject as this and as you can see they never really grab very many people's attention. Refer to that poll - only 50 responders and never even made it to 2 pages.

Please forgive me for playing the devil's advocate here (I'd LOVE to see a range of XCOM merch available - you hear me, 2k and Firaxis marketing guys!?) but I think they need to see a LOT more of a demonstrated demand for gear before they'd consider making it available. It's really down to the 628 people watching. Pipe up and say if you want this stuff!

You realize that only a very small percentage of players who play a game ever go on the forums right?

Maybe for some other gear, but the shirt design is obviously already done. Doubt they'd be losing money by just having more made.

FYI, that is a different shirt. The convention shirt has the logo centered, with the title on the back. Not a big deal with the logo moved over, but the back may be blank.

There is the XCOM Print along with 2K Logo on the Back, and the XCOM Patch is in the middle not on right side. Also they have an Firaxis Logo on the right arm. Not the Original PAX Giveaway Shirt, but better this than nothing.
